Only downsides was lack of wifi in rooms only... - Review of Hotel Klettur

Visited Iceland in November with my best friend. We had a standard room but had a view of the sea/mountains. Unfortunately, there are some building works taking place outside which did start early on the Saturday and Monday mornings that we were there.

Room itself was a twin, incredibly large with a fridge, safe and wardrobe. Room met our needs nicely, even the bathroom was huge! No tea or coffee facilities in the room though.

Breakfast is a little simple, not a huge amount of choice. For anyone staying longer than a weekend it may get a little tiresome.

The hotel is a few streets away from the town centre, very clean, spacious and on the tourist trip pick up points.

Only downside(s) was lack of wifi in rooms (only in reception area), no computer to print off boarding passes and the reception charged for the printing service. Otherwise, it was a very good hotel that served our purpose well.

Room Tip: Ask for a room avoiding overlooking the building works as they start early!

We stayed at the Klettur for the second time in November. When booking we upgraded to a deluxe room and requested a sea/mountain view. We were given a room on the 6th floor which had the sea view.

The hotel is a bit out of town but is still a good quiet location, it is very clean and modern. There are a few restaurants and supermarket a short walk from the hotel. Also it is not far to the sea wall where you can sit and watch the Northern Lights if they are out.

The room was very clean and tidy, had tea/coffee making facilities, fridge, iron and ironing board, dressing table, wardrobe with a safe inside, bedside cabinets, the bed was 2 singles pushed together. The bathroom had a really good shower with shampoo and conditioner provided and a hairdryer. The temperature of the room was fine and could be adjusted on the radiator and we also had an opening window.

Breakfast is continental style but well presented and plentiful.

The staff were really friendly and helpful with booking trips and return pickup to the airport.

A few minor points if I’m being really fussy, Wi-Fi does not extend to most rooms, a bit more drawer space in the rooms would’ve been nice for people who do not want to live out of a suitcase, the bath towels are a bit small although useable. The building site didn't cause us a problem, a short time of noise one morning.

Our room was very small, but clean. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was good. Reception staff very helpful. The area is not the best with a building site next door, however we did not experience any noise from the building site. The hotel was a little out of town, but a brisk 10 minute walk got us to the centre. Bus station was about 5 minute's away. All tour buses picked up and dropped off at the hotel, including the airport buses.

We recently returned from a fabulous 4 night break at Hotel Klettur. We had an early flight but our room was available when we arrived - a bonus! Room was spacious, warm and spotlessly clean. Beds extremely comfortable. Nice bathroom also. As per other reviews the hotel is 5 mins away from the main shopping street with numerous bars and restaurants. Breakfast was really nice and on our last day there was no problem going for breakfast at 6am due to our early flight. Hotel staff really friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money.

Stayed here on a northern lights tour . The location is excellent , near to all main shopping area, restaurants, waterfront . Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms very comfortable. Breakfast is a buffet, cold meats cheeses cereals etc , plenty to eat excellent coffee. Having read some negative comments about building site next door, yes there is a very large building site but we had no problems at all . There is a lot of building work in Reykjavik at the moment and it didn't cause us any problems. If you want a good comfortable hotel i can recommend this one

Room Tip: There are a few restaurants nearby , can recommend Harrys which is just around the corner, very frie...

We stayed here for 3 nights and as the hotel is a 3* thought we would pay for an upgrade. £50 for the 3 nights so not too expensive. However, the only difference from the standard room seemed to be that we were on the top floor (6) but at the back of the hotel overlooking a big building site with the sea in the distance. Staff were very pleasant when we asked for extra pillows and towels. They also serve breakfast at 05.00 if you have an early flight. Would suggest asking for a room at the front with a balcony and views of the town.

when I booked this hotel I was told by the agent for ALL ICELAND that I could get an ENGLISH breakfast and pay for an evening meal if I needed to,neither were available(not the hotels fault).the hotel is very nice,the staff are very friendly and helpful the room was nice ,the beer in the bar was always FLAT (the room had underfloor heating which is very good)

Room Tip: ask for a room at the back for a slightly better view
